The South African team have not had the outing they expected as India lead the three-match Test series 2-0 and play the final Test from Saturday.
Seeing the performance by the Proteas, veteran India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh took a sly dig at South Africa's batting woes by asking former cricketer and fielding great Jonty Rhodes to help his nation.
The exchange of words between the two took place when Rhodes posted a picture on social media where he is seen wearing the South Africa jersey with his name written on it.
“Feels good to be back in the green and gold, even if it is only for a shoot at the iconic #mehboobstudio in Mumbai,” wrote Rhodes with his post.
About to shoot at the iconic @mehboobstudio ; hope @akshaykumar got the message about being available as my body double today, to do my stunts. At 50+ I can still fly, it’s just the landing that may be an issue pic.twitter.com/9vzEuR8IUA

Harbhajan taking the opportunity wrote back saying, "Can u play the last test in Ranchi, SA needs some batting Jonty".
Rhodes too shot back saying, "They need much more than me!!!"
India will take on South Africa in the third and final Test and will look to further consolidate their position at the top of the ICC Test Championship points table.
